Pintalia albolineata Muir, Trans. Ent. Soc. London, vol. 82, p. 435, 1934. 
Male: Length, 4.4 mm.; tegmen, 5.0mm. Female: Length, 4.9 mm.; | 
tegmen, 5.5 mm. 
Width of vertex between basal angles twice the length in middle, 
2.6 times the width at apex; base deeply roundly emarginate, the 
transverse carina nearer to apex than to base, apex in dorsal view shal- 
lowly emarginate on each side of middle line. Length of frons in 
middle 1.4 times the greatest width, width at apex slightly more than 
twice width at base; median ocellus distinct. 
Head pallid testaceous, sides of labrum and clypeus, and genae 
behind level of antennae brown, a small oblique pale stripe on genae 
behind ocellus and between eye and antenna; a sharply defined piceous 
area above posterior two-thirds of eye, extending on to vertex as far 
as a line between the side of the transverse carina and the trisection of 
the basal margin. Pronotum pallid on disk, fuscous behind eyes, and 
mottled with fuscous between postocular carinae and posterior margin; 
mesonotum reddish brown, fuscous laterally, with three or four pallid 
spots in posterior half of each lateral area. Legs dark testaceous or 
pale fuscous, abdomen fuscous. Tegmina translucent, lightly clouded 
with fuscous; three small spots in costal cell fuscous; longitudinal 
veins posterior to stigma and all transverse veins overlain with a 
slightly darker fuscous band; the apical margin lightly colored, the 
area between the commissural margin, the posterior claval vein, and the 
apex of the clavus pale; veins concolorous with membrane or slightly 
darker. Wings hyaline, faintly clouded with fuscous, veins darker. 
Pygofer of female pale with a fuscous border anteriorly. 
Anal segment of male tubular with postanal portion deflexed 
through 60°, with a bulbous prominence ventrally at base. Aedeagus 
tubular, on right side a short spine directed posteriorly and a round 
fleshy pad distad of it near attachment of recurved membranous por- 
tion; on left side two spines near this attachment, one directed upward, 
then forward and slightly downward, the other posterior to it di- 
rected obliquely forward and upward; apical membranous portion with 
a spine arising from right side directed forward, then curved below 
appendage to left side and bending slightly upward. Genital styles 
in side view expanding apically, then tapering to a blunt point, a 
triangular projection on inner face near base. Pygofer with lateral — 
angles only slightly produced, forming a blunt lobe; medioventral 
process triangular, wider across its base than long. 
Anal segment of female short, tubular, 1.5 times as long as wide. — 
ovipositor complete, long and curved upward.
